This sculpture by James Lee Byars (1932-1997) was installed in the Tuileries Garden as one of several outdoor works during the FIAC (International Contemporary Art Fair).
The fair itself took place in the Grand Palais and went between October 24 - 27.
Lucky for us, the sculptures in the garden were not removed yet. Today under heavy grey sky the gold of this sphere gave a beautiful ray of sunshine perfectly lined up with the obelisk of Place de la Concorde and the Arc de Triomphe.
The "Tuileries Colored Sculpture" by Sam Falls closer to the Louvre is supposed to change colors under the impact of sunshine. Sam Falls living in California was perhaps not aware of the lack of sunlight here in Paris in the Fall.
